File Number: 17-071 The decrease of 10 mph from 40 mph to 30 mph on San Leandro Boulevard between Davis Street and Williams Street was based on the reduction of the speed data resulting from the recent roadway improvements next to the San Leandro BART station. Reasonable, legitimate speed limits encourage safe traffic flows and are enforceable by radar or other electronic speed measuring devices. Staff recommends adoption by the City Council of the Citywide roadway speed limits listed in Attachment A and mapped in Attachment B. Although this action will set the speed limits for all road in San Leandro until the next Citywide traffic survey, it may be appropriate to survey individual roads or segments earlier if changes in traffic conditions or adjacent land uses warrant it. In these cases, the City may opt to assess speed limits for some areas sooner.
